02

Tell it about you.

As you chat, Superbook keeps short notes on your work, your goals and what you are dealing with. See and edit them any time, or import what ChatGPT or Claude already knows.

Work Nurse, mostly night shifts

Goal Run a 10K by spring

Life Moving to Lisbon in March

Money Saving for the move

Struggle Sleep after night shifts

03

Read the part written for you.

Every chapter summary ends with what it means for your life, using what Superbook knows about you.

For you

Influence, Part I

On a busy ward, a small favour first, like covering a break, makes colleagues readier to swap a shift with you later.

Because you work night shifts

04

Ask it anything.

Push back on an idea, ask for an example, or ask how it applies to your week. Answers come from the book, not the internet.

What would Marcus Aurelius say about a manager who takes credit for my work?

That his opinion of you is his business, and your work is yours. Do it well because it's right, not to be seen.

And if it keeps happening?

05

Keep every idea.

The big ideas become cards you can flip through, listen to and share.

Questions

Something else? help@superbook.ai

  • Do I need to have read the book?

    No. Start from a question, or from the summary, and let the answers show you which parts matter to you. It also works alongside reading, chapter by chapter.

  • What does Superbook remember about me?

    Short notes from your conversations: your goals, your work, the people and situations you mention. They live in the Memories screen, where you can edit or delete any of them. Nothing is shared with anyone else.

  • Where do the answers come from?

    From the book you're asking. Superbook is grounded in the title, so answers stay tied to what the author actually argued instead of a general impression of the topic.

  • Is it free?

    You can start for free. Premium adds unlimited conversations, voice mode and every book.
